They could still be available, but they would not be the default
(legacy encodings)

When you setup a new machine, its not front-loaded with scads
of text file docs you care about; you will add things as you go.
If you recieve new messages (email,documents,etc) they would
all be converted to something you can read normally. All you care
about is that it is well integrated and it works.

I dont see why its such a hangup.
